Trump expected to sign executive order reclassifying marijuana, easing restrictions on the drug​

President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order Thursday that would reschedule marijuana to a lower drug classification — a move that would ease federal restrictions, though it would not mean full legalization, according to a source familiar with the planning and a senior White House official.

The order would reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I drug, which the Drug Enforcement Administration defines as having “no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse,” to a Schedule III drug, which the DEA defines as having “a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence,” sources said. That reclassification could have implications for research of marijuana or use for medical purposes.

Hi there!

Yes this is very cool news for a lot of people who could really benefit from this medicine. God only knows Opioids are off the table for most. At the very least, give them some bud!

I´m going to move this to one of our new/current events sections!

while this is good for research it is still far too little. the plan is to move from C1 to C3 which still keeps the current harmful system of prohibition in place and all of the harm it causes
